Ryan Reynolds Has Very Little Interest In Doing JUSTICE LEAGUE
While talking about his new movie The Croods, Ryan Reynolds was asked if he would like to reprise his role as Green Lantern in the upcoming Justice League project Warner Brothers is working on, and as of right now, he is not interested.
Warner Brother's attempt to get Justice League off the ground has been some what of a rocky road. With the rumored script troubles, possible creative teams who might be working on it, as well as who will be cast in the roles, a lot just seems to be up in the air at this point. One of the bigger questions has been, will WB bring back Ryan Reynolds as their Green Lantern for the movie. Fans have mixed emotions about Reynolds portrayal of Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern solo movie, but will WB ask him to join the Justice League? Reynolds may not even give them the chance, as he told Empire he has no interest in doing the film at this point in time. Check out the full quote below, where he was asked if he would want to do Justice League.
"I don't know. If you're going to do comic book movies in that vein, you really have to get them right. I believe that Joss Whedon is the guy that just nails it and Christopher Nolan obviously nails it. So if they were gonna do it like that, it would be an interesting thing to do. It's just that, working on Green Lantern, I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with. So at this point I have very little interest in joining that kind of world. But, you know, a great script and a good director can always turn that around."
With this being said, it doesn't look like those who enjoyed Reynolds as Green Lantern will see him with the Ring any time soon. However, since Christopher Nolan was on his list of people that "get" how to make a comic book movie, and since Nolan is rumored to be involved there is always a chance.
